Write a technical essay (maximum two pages) about stress concentration. and paste from the textbook. instead, read updated material about this phenomenon and provide a technical evaluation of the different techniques to avoid/reduce such phenomenon. consider in your analysis cutting-edge computational techniques such as fea to study and analyze stress concentrations.

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Vibration monitoring this technique uses the noise or vibration created by mechanical equipment and in seme cases by plant systems to detemine their actual condtion. a)- true b)- false
